Il Re e le Palme

from $22.00

The bronze monument to Vittorio Emanuele II in Santa Margherita Ligure, dated 1894 on its stone pedestal, stands against a cloudless sky between tall fan palms. Behind it, painted façades with green shutters give way to a hillside dotted with villas.

Vittorio Emanuele II was the first king of a unified Italy, and towns across the country raised statues in his honor in the decades after unification. Here the formal figure shares the frame with palms and summer light, which turns a civic monument into something closer to a Riviera postcard.

Printed with pigment-based inks for lasting quality and rich tonal depth. Available on archival fine art paper, canvas, or metal.
